Celebrated on the last Sunday of the liturgical year, the Solemnity of Christ the King was instituted by Pope Pius XI in 1925 with the encyclical Quas primas to respond to growing secularism, exposing that trying to "(distance) from Jesus Christ and his most holy law" in the public life would result in continual discord between individuals and nations. This solemnity falls on the last Sunday in ordinary time. The liturgy offers us the readings of David's coronation as king and the scene of the good thief. The first reading tells us of David's anointing as king of Israel. The prophets had predicted that the Messiah would be his descendant. Using this line of argument, this reading is presented for our consideration today with the intention of exposing in this way that Jesus Christ, the Messiah, is the new king that is, he postulates himself as our king. This is how the gospel story is introduced. In it, we are told that on the front of the cross it was possible to read. "The King of the Jews." However, it turns out that the throne is a cross; his logic is not that of this world. In fact, on his own throne, and on his way, he has been the object of ridicule and insults. Even already nailed to the cross, where two bandits executed with him appear, one of them the good thief.
